Thanks Pavel!  Early results look very good for this change.  I'm now 
running 6.1.120 with your added smp_mb() call.  The backup process which 
had been quickly triggering the issue has been running longer than it 
ever did when it would ultimately fail.  So that's great!

One sour note: overnight, replication hung on this machine, which is 
another failure that started happening with the jump from 6.1.119 to 
6.1.123.  The machine was running 6.1.124 with the 
__io_cq_unlock_post_flush function removed completely.  That's the 
kernel we had celebrated yesterday for running the backup process 
successfully.

So, we might have two separate issues to deal with, unfortunately.

This morning, I found that replication had hung and was behind by some 
35,000 seconds.  I attached gdb and then detached it, which got things 
moving again (which goes the extra mile to prove that this is a very 
closely related issue).  Then it hung up again at about 25,000 seconds 
behind.  At that point I rebooted into the new kernel, the 6.1.120 
kernel with the added smp_mb() call.  The lag is now all the way down to 
5,000 seconds without hanging again.

It looks like there are 5 io_uring-related patches in 6.1.122 and 
another 1 in 6.1.123.  My guess is the replication is hitting a problem 
with one of those.

Unfortunately, a replication hang is much harder for me to reproduce 
than the issue with the backup procedure, which always failed within 15 
minutes.  It certainly looks to me like the patched 6.1.120 does not 
have the hang (but it's hard to be 100% certain).  Perhaps the next step 
is to apply the extra smp_mb() call to 6.1.123 and see if I can get 
replication to hang.
